Inside notorious Scots gangster's glitzy night backstage at Oasis cosying up to Noel Gallagher & massive BBC star
GANGSTER Robert Kelbie has been snapped cosying up to Oasis stars and A-listers backstage at the Britpop legends' huge reunion gigs in Cardiff this week. The playboy Scots fraudster. 41. wore a VIP pass and a wide grin in the brazen snap shared on Instagram. 7 7 He brazenly shared pics of himself hobnobbing backstage with Noel Gallagher, Oasis guitarist Gem Archer, and former Doctor Who star Matt Smith. And in veiled dig at rivals - he posted video of himself at the gig on Instagram to the soundtrack of the Oasis hit Stay Young which includes the lyrics: 'Stay young and invincible, come what may we're unstoppable.' Kelbie, now living it up as a flashy boxing promoter, is no stranger to the high life and is a known enemy of caged cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson, 38. Richardson is currently behind bars, while his allies - including the feared Daniel Clan - are in a bloody turf war with Dubai-based Ross 'Miami' McGill and a group known as Tamo Junto. 7 7 Sources say Kelbie is revelling in the carnage ripping through his rival's empire. A rival hit out: 'Kelbie makes out that he's some sort of socialite and pals with the Gallagher brothers and most of these people won't know his past. 'He's an enemy of Mark Richardson and will be loving all the violence that's been directed towards his empire in Edinburgh. 'Kelbie and his crew swig champagne in the VIP area and try to legitimise himself by being a boxing promoter but if some of these stars Googled who they were posing for pictures with then they might think twice about it.' McGill, an ex-Rangers ultras chief, is now living in the UAE but was left raging after fake cash was used in a £500,000 drugs deal. Hundreds gather for double funeral of slain Scots gangsters Eddie Lyons Jr & Ross Monaghan He ordered blade attacks, shootings and firebombings across the Central Belt sparking a seemingly unstoppable gang feud. Kelbie - who was once filmed being floored by a rival more than a decade younger in a bareknuckle building site scrap - has links to fugitive Irish kingpin and ex-fight promoter Daniel Kinahan. He fled his home at Ratho Station, Edinburgh, in 2016 after it was blasted by Gerard Docherty, 45 — who was caged for 10½ years in 2018 alongside Richardson and other members of a £200million supergang. His appearance back stage at the Oasis gig is not the first time Kelbie has been seen in the company of the rich and famous. He's close pals with Tyson Fury, and even gave the champ, 35, a tour of Scotland last year — stopping off in trendy Edinburgh bars and taking in the sights. He's also been seen posing backstage with Noel Gallagher on other occasions. 7 7 Kelbie's celeb selfie stash also includes shots with Sir Alex Ferguson, 82, Wayne Rooney, and boxing legend Mike Tyson. His latest social media spree shows him mingling backstage as Oasis kicked off their hotly-anticipated reunion tour — but not everyone's impressed by his A-list antics. The gangster's red carpet lifestyle comes as Scotland's gangland war explodes, with two men arrested in connection with firebombings and attempted murder. The busts bring the total arrests to 52 as cops ramp up their crackdown on the on the escalating gang feud across the central belt. In a feared revenge for the gang war focusing on the Daniel and Richardson empires, the execution of two members of the rival Lyons group of hoods was ordered in Spain. Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan were shot dead as they watched the Champions League final in Monaghan's Irish Bar in the resort of Fuengirola. We told how hundreds of mourners gathered on Friday for their double funeral. Lyons, 46, and Monaghan, 43, were laid to rest by loved-ones in a joint ceremony just over one month after they were gunned down. The solemn occasion comes days after we revealed authorities in Spain handed over the pair's bodies to relatives to be repatriated to Scotland. More than 500 friends, family and underworld figures gathered at Bishopbriggs Crematorium in north Glasgow to show respect to Monaghan and Lyons Jnr - son of Godfather Eddie, 67, and brother of Dubai-based mob boss Steven Lyons, 44.
